  • 1st YEAR OF MEISNER TECHNIQUE - NINE MONTH PROGRAM

    Thursday,  January, 2011

    The Meisner work expands an actors imagination - his or her greatest tool and grounds them in their partner which takes pressure off to "perform" allowing a performance to happen.

    The workshop will teach actors:

    • To explore his/her sense of truth
    • Learn what has meaning for them (for use in connecting to anything)
    • How to think and craft like an artist; furthering the actors' ability to create specifically and truthfully

    This nine month workshop focuses on an actor’s ability to listen, respond, and live truthfully in EVERY moment. It begins with the basic repetition exercise (the foundation of Sandy Meisner's work that many have done in acting classes, but that most have never truly had the opportunity to explore). The exercises will build into intricate moment to moment scene work.

        •  Limit 18 Students

        •  $ 1775 for nine months   (Nine-month payment-plan available)

                                 SHAKESPEARE

                                             with DIANA JELLINEK

    To Be Announced                7pm -11pm

    In this workshop, students will unravel the mysteries of playing Shakespeare by learning how to use spoken verse, powerful movement, and personal reflection to create a living character, worthy of modern-day cinematography.  Learning to play Shakespeare is, perhaps, an actor's most challenging and most rewarding experience.  It is the Olympics of acting.  And the ability to transform Shakespeare's verse into an accessible, contemporary character is widely known as the skill that translates into every other acting context -- be it commercials, voice-overs, soap operas, or sitcoms.  

    Actors will unlock the text, unleash their voices, and tap into their unique personal experiences to deliver a powerful and grounded contemporary performance.  This workshop is not for beginning actors and will culminate in a filmed, professional shoot of each student's final monologue/scene for use on a demo reel.

    • Eighteen Students 
    • $545 for this 12 session workshop
    • Diana Jellinek teaches
